We have many patients with breathing dysfunction and "GERD" that does not get better with PPIs or has been ID via instrumental testing. This gives me further motivation to spend more time on diaphragmatic breathing. RDG's presentation was one of the strongest offerings I have seen in many years. The foundation was beautifully laid, the anatomy reviewed, and the case studies each had a point!" K.D. (Jul. 2024)

I liked the shift in mindset from a medical model to a social model. Presenter explained everything very well." A.C. (Jul. 2024)

"Beneficial information of other things to address in therapy besides the actual fluency. The emotions, behaviors, attitudes, etc. I enjoyed learning and understanding that as SLPs we need to help our clients understand that it is okay to stutter and show them things to do to feel comfortable actually stuttering.
